To all whom, it may concern,.-

Be it known that we, JOHN A. HAROLD and ADAM C. HAROLD, citizens of theUnited States, residing at Rochester, in the county of Monroe and Stateof New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inWindow-Stops; and we do declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of referencemarked thereon, which form a part of this speciiication. This inventionrelates to certain new and useful improvements in window stops andfasteners; and it has for its obj ect to generally improve upon theconstruction and to render more serviceable in operation this class ofdevices.

The invention has for its further and more immediate object a device ofthe character described which will include within a single element astop for holding and guiding the window-sash, a weather=strip, and astop and guide for the inside screen.

To the above ends and to such others as the invention may pertain thesame consists in the peculiar construction and in the novel combination,arrangement, and adaptation of parts, all as more fully hereinafterdescribed, shown in the accompanying drawings, and then particularlydefined in the appended claim.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings,which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form apart of thisspecification, like' letters of reference indicating like partsthroughout both views, and in which drawings- Figure 1 is a perspectiveview of a windowstop constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2is a transverse section through a window frame, sash, and screen with mystop in actual use.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, Adesignates the stop, which consists of a strip of wood provided upon itsouter face with a central longitudinal bead A2, which is rounded orsemicircular in cross-section. This bead is out away at intervals of itslength, as is shown at A', for the reception of the plate and screw usedin securing the strip to the window-frame.

The strip A is also provided along one of its 55 outer edges adjacent tothe face of the strip with a longitudinal bead A3, the opposite edge A4of the strip being beveled or other-v wise ornamented, as taste maydictate. The

strip is fastened to the window-frame by 6o means of screws B passedtherethrough at the spaces A', a metallic washer or plate C, having atransverse central slot C', being provided for the reception of thescrew, said slotted plate serving to permit the said strip to beadjusted laterally, as will be readily under stood.

A slightly-tapered screw-threaded metallic socket D is provided withinthe window-frame for the reception of the screw, said socket be- 7o ingprovided with an internal screw-threaded aperture for the reception ofthe screw and having its end provided with a transverse Slot D2, thuspermitting it to be set with ascrewdriver.

When in position for use, as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings, it will beseen that the bead A3 upon the edge of the strip is adapted to enter acorresponding longitudinal groove F, provided for the purpose in theside tim- 8o ber F of the window-sash, thus serving both as a guide andsecuring device for the sash, and also serving as a weather-strip. Theslotted Washers or plates C serve to permit the strip to be readilyadjusted so as to cause 85 the bead to enter the groove in the sash thedistance desired. The bead A2 enters a longitudinal slot E', providedfor its reception in the outer edge of the side strip E of thescreen-frame, where it serves to secure the 9o IOO consisting of asti-ip of Wood or meta-1 :Lt- In testimony whereof we :Lfx oursignataehed to Jehe window-frame and provided tures in presence of twowitnesses.
